We asked Thomas Buckley some questions to get to know him and his practice better.
What does the theme ‘Connection’ mean to you/your practice?
My work is all about connection, the art I make is always an attempt at a conversation – I’m most proud when I can communicate something small and fragile about someone’s life or our world in a way that resonates with an audience.
We are celebrating our 10 year anniversary, where were you 10 years ago (creatively speaking)?
10 years ago, I was almost exclusively drawing – looking back I can see how I was developing an interest in how objects could tell stories and hold the marks of people who use them, although I had no idea how that interest would develop in my practice.
How do you hope the arts build back better after the pandemic?
I hope the awareness we might now have over our bodies, as something permeable can lead to interesting work with the senses.
